Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This text integrates engineering principles with real applications from a systems perspective, providing a framework for developing electronic instrumentation, from hand-held devices to consoles. It offers practical design solutions, describes the interactions, trade-offs, and priorities encountered, and then gives specific examples. It is aimed at senior undergraduates as well as practicing engineers.
MoreLong description:
This text integrates engineering principles with real applications from a systems perspective, providing a framework for developing electronic instrumentation, from hand-held devices to consoles. It offers practical design solutions, describes the interactions, trade-offs, and priorities encountered and then gives specific examples. Written as a principle text for a senior design class, it also serves as a reference handbook for practising engineers. While the focus is on projects often found in medium sized companies, many of the principles presented apply to larger companies as well.
This is a comprehensive introduction to the design of electronic products developed from the author's "real world experience". It is a useful reference book as well as good potential to support undergraduate systems and product design courses as it provides useful guidelines and case studies. Aslib Book Guide
